Wheatgrass Shots


A new thing I have been experimenting with is making wheatgrass shots. I purchased some wheatgrass plants at the grocery store in the produce section. Typically people make their wheatgrass shots by juicing them, but since I don't own a juicer I have been blending them in my BlendTec blender with a small amt of water. I have read that it is best to start with a small amt and work your way up. Make sure you wash your wheatgrass thoroughly before juicing or blending them. I'll be honest though, it doesn't taste very good, but you get used to it.

Wheatgrass is said to be a strong detoxifier, helps with blood flow, digestion, and cleanses the blood. Here are some websites with information:
